'Materiality' Series

The ‘Solidity’ & ‘Materiality’ Series challenge how new technological networks affect our experience and perception by examining concepts such as: ownership of digital assets, digital scarcity, authenticity & value in the virtual world. ​

​

Pioneering the use of blockchain’s data and smart contracts as a tool and medium for generating digital art. ‘Materiality’ series is created through a 3-part process: Generating, Bridging (2D to 3D) and Production. Resulting in a digitally native artwork being generated using blockchain and the afterwards physical production based on it. Creating the first NFTs ever materialized into physical reality.

​

Challenging the conventional hierarchy of value and authenticity when it comes to digital and physical objects. Since the physical pieces are being reproduced, copy/pasted and in a way ‘devalued’, while the significance of the digital artwork is highlighted - shifting the perception of the viewers.

​

These physical artworks have an emphasis on tactility, analog, and physical presence while at the same time explore concepts of automation, labor, and production in our culture.

​

As one of the earliest Crypto Art explorations of smart contract enabled generative art – these series outsource part of the expression to algorithms; Creating a hybrid form of creativity where the role of data, machine and the artist is redefined.
